Our aims
This retreat is designed with the busy professional in mind. It is a break, a pause, a change of scenery and a restorative rest - combining gentle physical unwinding and wellbeing with personal and professional coaching and reflection. This combination is unique and we are proud of our programme and the experts we bring to the table.
We have wonderful resources to hand here in the Eden Valley, an incredible private manor house in the most stunning gardens; a delightful creative space in The Studio Morland arts & wellness venue; a picturebox village setting and the Lake District National Park on our doorstep.
Combine this with a wonderful host who’s profession crosses business and personal development, coaching and mentoring and 30yrs project managing in the creative sector, and you have a delightful experience that I am sure you will return for.
Please get in touch for any queries. The retreat has a very limited number of places and for this reason alone will book up quickly. I am delighted to welcome you to our amazing rural space.
“Kate has been a fantastic mentor - taking me from complete overwhelm to a state of calm. She’s given me all sorts of tricks and tools to tackle my work world - from the pragmatic small tweak to the big strategic shifts. Her approach is consistently cheerful, supportive and kind. It has been just great to work with her.”
